Roman villa 140m east of St Mary and St Nicholas' Church is a scheduled ancient monument in Buckinghamshire comprising the remains of a Romano-British villa of the second to fourth centuries AD. The site represents typical settlement patterns of the Roman period in the Chiltern region, where such villas served as the centres of agricultural estates. The villa's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding rural Romano-British economy and settlement hierarchy, though substantial structural remains are not visibly evident on the ground. The scheduled designation protects the subsurface archaeological deposits that retain potential for further investigation and understanding of Romano-British domestic and economic life in the locality.
